Was for my girlfriend at the time. Beautiful hand carved box. Padlocked. No key. Annoyed the shit out of her.

Eventually gave her the key. Inside was a bunch of chocolate gold coins and an aged clue. This lead to an all day treasure hunt for her including challenges she had to pass to progress. Again, annoyed the shit out of her

At the end was a path of rose petals, lit candles, me and a ring

And that is the story of how I annoyed the shit out of my wife one Christmas. I think it was the best present ever and I'm still proud of how much it annoyed her. She still complains about it if I bring it up even though she describes her proposal as "magical" and "perfect" to her friends
